              Studio Ghibli is NOT owned by Disney. What a bunch of shit reporting @mlnews

              The source article, correctly, does not state anything about Disney.

                  Disney is only the distributor?

                    Correct. Only for international distribution.

                      Ah, sorry about that. Disney brands Ghibli, or used to, just like their other in house brands.

                        Easy mistake to make. Disney does that with a lot of their distribution agreements for some reason.

                          IMO, Disney smelled money and beat on Miyazaki with money until he capitulated to let them (originally horribly) translate and distribute.

                          Here is the ancient original new release.
                          Disney Will Distribute Japanese Animation. Walt Disney Studios and Japan's Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co. have formed and alliance for the international distribution of animated product from Tokuma's Studio Ghibli. The catalog will include eight animated features by Hayao Miyazaki, whose films include Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro (which had considerable success in the US in its video release), as well as rights to distribute his next film, Princess Mononoke. One of Japan's most famous directors, Miyazaki's films regularly outdraw such Disney films as Aladdin and The Lion King at the box office. Disney organization has long admired his work, but Miyazaki had previously shunned the studio's offers and said that recent Disney films lacked "decency." He has also been approached by Fox and Warner Bros., but in the past has shunned efforts to promote his films abroad, as he was wary of changes that might be made by foreign distributors. At a news conference in Tokyo, Miyazaki said he agreed to the deal to help Tokuma, which had backed him from his early days.

                            No, just lazy. @scottalanmiller wants to play by the details, he needs to do so all the time.

                              Harsh, but fair 🙂

                              Favourite Studio Ghibli film? Mine's probably Princess Mononoke, but my kids are big fans of Ponyo.

                                There is not really a favorite in our house.

                                But the girls have watched Totoro so many times.

                                From 2012:
